It was a beautiful, blue sky day. I looked around, Today is the day I thought. I was going to ask my parents for a pet. My siblings and I have always wanted a pet, but could never get one since my mother was allergic to fur from animals, especially cats and dogs. I thought about what pets we might enjoy. Ever since I found out some birds, especially Parrots, could talk I wanted to have one. I love animals that I can play with and have fun with. When I asked, my mom looked at me and replied,“You want a pet? What type of pet?” “I’m not exactly sure, but maybe a bird”, I replied sheepishly. “We’ll see”, said my dad in a tired voice. (I may have asked them a couple minutes before we went to bed.) I repeated the same thing at least once a week. Finally after a couple months My mom and I went looking for birds on sale Online. We found out a lot about each bird. The thing about finding the right bird was the right price. Each bird we looked at was more expensive than the last one. Finally we found a gray parrot that was not too expensive and we were going to buy it, but at the last minute the seller decided to not sell the bird. I was sad that we could not buy the bird but I just decided to look for good birds to get. But little did I know that behind my back my parents were buying a little present for me.

I awoke to the sound of and smell of glorious food getting cooked by my mom. It’s my birthday I thought. I am finally turning 10. This is so exciting. I got up and got dressed for the exciting day ahead. It was not only my birthday but also my older brother. I have two older brothers (both different ages)and one younger sister. Anyway, I was helping set up for the party and I decided to sit down in our front room and then the doorbell rang. My mom got the door (even though I was sitting down by the door) and the first guest came in. It was one of my mom’s Filipino friends she invited for the party. A couple minutes after the guest came in My mom and her friend brought in a cage through the door a turned around and in the cage was a bright yellow parakeet and a grass green parakeet (only the belly was green but the yellow parakeet was yellow all over besides the eyes and beak). I was super excited and was super happy that I finally got a pet. Soon after about thirty minutes the house was packed with people, Friends and Family, one and all. A few of my friends gave me little toys I could give for the parakeets. After the Party was over I enjoyed time playing with my Parakeets, which I named Lemon and Lime. Lemon was the yellow parakeet and Lime was the Green bellied parakeet.
